A few Soul Calibur characters were clearly inspired by Guilty Gear

Bear with me here. You'll get it at the end.

I really don't think so..

 

[Madnis]

I feel like i'm being nudged while being told "ah ah? get it?"
then the "boo doom tish..."

and then a sigh, and a slow shake of my head... and then I move on.

GG would be inspired by soulcalibur (or by obvious things like Grim Reaper = Zasalamel). These characters really aren't that similar to begin with.

I guess some things just never go away.

 

[HogisGuy]

Yeah... no.

I've been waiting for a good chance to use that one. :p

Madnis gets it. The facepalmers got it. ....I'm really not sure if you got it.
Also Setsuka came after Baiken and is practically the exact same character, but said character is a Japanese stock character, so as you said obvious thing.

If the joke was that the last picture said "justice", I got it. If not, then idk

 

[Donutman]

As a guilty gear fan, i'm not seeing the resemblence in the characters here. Are you seriously just going by the weapons they have?

The only similarity is that they're weapon-based fighters.

The only similarity between Setsuka and Balkan is that they're women who wear open kimonos. I had no idea Setsuka also had an eye and arm missing and fights with both a katana and some chain weapon

Ironically I facepalmed your post

[TheRealDMac]

It's not that the picture SAID justice... that's the character's name... so "I am justice!" and all... yea I give up, don't drink and post =p. That was seriously the main point. The people who are getting frustrated because the connections are so dumb, that was the idea, until you get to Justice.

Also @REPROBEAN_CHILD , Setsuka and Baiken both seem to fight from the draw, Iaijutsu or whatever it's called, and both fight because they are consumed with getting revenge against one man.

too slow, and way too much anticipation... it's like waiting for a punchline after a long boring joke, only to realize there is no punchline.
